About the hosts:

Justin Castles @justincastles @justinandjim

I'm Justin, the owner of Lucky Straps as well as a professional photographer/videographer. After photographing weddings full time for about 7 years with Jim I now focus on sports, mainly mountain biking for Flow Mountain Bike. I have shot with Canon, then Nikon and now back to Canon with a full Mirrorless RF mount system. A full on gear nerd and business nerd, ask me anything about your camera kit or how to grow your photography business.

Greg Cromie @gcromie

Greg is a regular writer for photography publications such as ShotKit and also the famous Lucky Straps Blog. He is an avid Fujifilm X-series shooter as well an experienced reviewer of all things photography.  You can find him wandering the city of Melbourne with a camera in hand, street photography being his genre of choice.   His love for Fujifilm helps offset the traditional Canon vs Nikon arguments of Justin and Jim.

Jim Aldersey @jimaldersey @justinandjim

Jim is a professional wedding photographer shooting 40+ weddings a year as well as a diverse range of commercial work. Prior to launching the business 'Justin and Jim - Photographers' with me he was a full time photojournalist for the Bendigo Advertiser. He is a long time Nikon DSLR shooter having his hands on just about every pro Nikon camera since the D3.

Grant Fleming @grantflemingphoto

Grant is the definition of a passionate hobbyist, he has a day job but is always thinking about photography and regularly heads away on landscape photo adventures. He also makes money with his photography by shooting weddings, events and real estate.
